Jessica Alba on Iraq: "I just think it’s f—ked up, whatever’s happening"
NEWSWEEK: What do you think of the war in Iraq?

ALBA: You know, it’s really none of my business. I’m not fighting. I’m not in the Army. I’m not in any of the armed forces. I’m not Donald Rumsfeld. And I’m certainly not in Iraq—an Iraqi person who has to deal with all the bulls—t in my country. I’m not Afghani. I wouldn’t know what that reality is like, to sit in your home and to have soldiers raiding your house because they think your kid is a spy. And explosions happening at your kids’ schools. I don’t know if I could have a real educated opinion about it all. I just think it’s f—ked up, whatever’s happening over there.

NEWSWEEK: Are you political?

ALBA: I definitely have my point of view.

NEWSWEEK: What is that?

ALBA: I can’t wait for Barack Obama to run for something. Cause I am voting.

NEWSWEEK: Do you think he’ll be president in the future?

ALBA: I sure hope so. I hope people are open-minded enough to have somebody like Barack.

4. GW paraphrasing LBJ: "If we've lost Jessica we've lost America."
:eyes:

Nice start, but she needs to lose a little of the apathy ("You know, it’s really none of my business." WTF?)

6. None of your business, Jessica?
The millions you've made off of lousy movies have helped to pay for it.

You could have an educated opinion about it, if your priorities weren't elsewhere.

What is it you expect Obama to do for you that you praise him so highly?

7. But, but, I thought all the pretty girls were Republican?
Rush Limbo says that the only women who are liberals are the ugly women: those "big-boned feminazis", and bitter, angry divorcees, lesbians, witches and women who can't find a man.

Hmmmmmmm....

10. She probably meant run in an election she can vote in.
:shrug: She's an actress, a B actress, not a political wonkette. And if her priorities are in the right place, I say, Go Jessica! Some twenty something male may just listen to her.
